Morning worship on the 1st Sunday in the month We hold one morning service at 10.30am for the whole church family. After an initial time together, children and young people follow their own programme in Junior Church. There are crèche facilities for young children.

Morning worship on the other Sundays in the month – 2nd, 3rd and 4th There are two morning services, one at 9.15am and the other at 10.45am. The service at 9.15am is of a traditional style and usually has our choir and organ or keyboard leading the worship. The 10.45am service has a more contemporary format and is often led by one of our worship groups. The Junior Church and crèche also form part of this service.

Morning worship on 5th Sunday – Food and Faith When there is a 5th Sunday we hold a “Food and Faith” service which starts at 10.30am. After about half-an-hour of worship and prayer there is a refreshment break. Adults and children then split up for separate teaching sessions which aim to finish by 12 noon. There is then a ‘bring & share’ lunch to which everyone is invited.

2nd Sunday – “All-in thing” 10.45am service

The All-in Thing is when the church is all-in together for a service with a regular pattern of song, activities and prayer for everyone present. There is a time when we split and choose to explore the theme through a craft, learning a new song, bible study, drama or praying through the news, in different parts of the building. Each activity is open to adults and children alike. When we come back together, something from each activity is shared with the whole congregation.

NOTE: During December and August we normally revert to a single 10.30am service, with special services at Christmas.

Ignite! and Youth services These feature worship in a contemporary style and are held on Sundays at 6.30pm, either in Wootton Bassett or St Mary's Purton.
